SUMMER READING

Every summer, public libraries all across the United States offer a summer reading program to encourage children to continue reading during the summer. A summer reading program can prevent summer reading loss and offer struggling and/or reluctant readers. Along with the summer reading program, public libraries support literacy efforts by encouraging lifelong reading by providing access to books, ebooks, audiobooks, the internet, computers, and literacy-based programming.

Here at the Mitchellville Public Library, we promote reading as many books during the summer as you can.  You can share the stories and adventures of the book you read with our staff or your library friends. We have many arts and crafts we do together, we play games, build LEGOs, and more.

Reading colors your world, and so does children's art. What a fun day, and look at all the beautiful masterpieces of art they created.
